Features

Plenty of Room. And Then Some.

Seagate® Backup Plus Desktop drives are available in capacities up to 8 TB and come with a USB 3.0 hub option. With cross-platform compatibility, exceptional reliability and speed, you can back up just about everything. Plus you can conveniently back up and share your digital favourites with the included cloud storage service.

Take advantage of the Backup Plus Hub drive which doubles as an all-in-one data hub and recharging station built into a desktop drive with phenomenal capacities.

Back Up. Connect. Recharge.

Equipped with two integrated USB ports on the front, you can back up your files, precious photos and videos while connecting to and recharging your tablet, smartphone or camera - even if your system is off or in standby mode.

Completely Manage Your Backups With Seagate Dashboard

With Seagate Dashboard software, you can easily back up and smartly manage all your documents, photos and videos - including the ones you've uploaded to Facebook and Flickr.

Works With Mac and Windows? Yes.

The Backup Plus Hub is compatible with Mac and Windows. Install the NTFS driver for Mac®, and you can use the drive interchangeably between Windows and Mac computers without reformatting.

Not exactly. But it should work, but only if the drive is powered by another source whether it be a USB powered hub for 2.5 inch external drives, or their own power adapter for 3.5 inch drives. Then the drive should show up as a mass storage device, just like any Linux system would see. I don't think that you'd be able to boot from it though. And you may need to reformat the drive in advance or from the Pi. Just to be sure though I would suggest making sure to do your research first.

Works as intended - prett

21 May 2018

I got this to replace 3 x 1TB drives in a back-up routine. I use Goodsync and now I can simply run a Sync All routine and leave it going - twice the amount of back-up storage than the source so should be good for a while yet. Speeds aren't great but that's not an issue - I just need steady, accurate file back-up. USB 3.0 hub facility and 2 ports on the front are handy but I'll never use them as this drive does not remain attached to the PC when not backing up.

A nice product for a great price. As the basis of an off-line backup solution, hard to beat. performance is good for backup, and the USB ports a nice idea for flexibility for those using it as a desktop-orientated solution.A nice product for a great price.

I wiped it immediately on receiving it to format it to work better with Mac and Time Machine, rather than with the bundled software, and it's working well, I was happy with how quickly it arrived, too.I wiped it immediately on receiving it to format it to work better with Mac and Time Machine, rather than with the bundled software, and it's working well, I was happy with how quickly it arrived, too.

The Seagate 6TB Backup Plus Desk Hub is great!
No problems during a large data backup worth of 5 TB.
The external backup plus hard drive is working as perfect as I hoped for!
I am fully satisfied with this external hard drive, and I certainly would recommend it to anyone, as a handy backup drive!

Purchased this for my XBox One for some extra storage and have had no problems with it at all. Easy to setup and can store plenty of games. Great to have some extra USB ports for charging as well.Purchased this for my XBox One for some extra storage and have had no problems with it at all. Easy to setup and can store plenty of games.

Solid performer so far

12 April 2018

Have filled up half the capacity of this external drive so far. Using it to backup Raw photo files.
Not too much to say about a drive like this so early on.
I went into Device Manager to set this device to 'Optimise for performance' and Enabled write caching on the disk.
This improved my file transfer speed from 30MB/s to around 180MB/s.
I then set it back to the defaults once I had finished my backups (to protect the integrity of the data in the event of power failure etc).Have filled up half the capacity of this external drive so far. Using it to backup Raw photo files.

Extremely cheap capacity, but poor with large transfers. It appears to be a SMR (Shingled magnetic recording) drive. I got great performance while cloning the old drive for about 200GB, then speed dropped dramatically. On the other hand, it is super cheap...Extremely cheap capacity, but poor with large transfers.
